Camera apparatuses, systems and methods are provided having particular application with marine propulsion mechanisms. In one aspect, a camera apparatus can include a housing that can have an external airfoil configuration. The camera apparatus can be mounted on a marine propulsion mechanism, such as a marine outboard engine, and can be used to see images of and monitor the engine. A water intake on the outboard engine can be particularly viewed and monitored, even during operation of the engine with a boat at high speeds.
